Amy M. Frerker

Amy M. Frerker serves as a key procurement professional within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she oversees the acquisition of critical wired telecommunications infrastructure to support the Department of Defense’s global communications mission. Her work centers on securing and modernizing high-capacity, resilient network systems that enable secure, interoperable connectivity across military and federal operations. She manages complex contract actions for core telecom services, including fiber-optic backbone deployment, secure virtual private network solutions, and legacy system modernization, ensuring compliance with DoD cybersecurity and resilience standards. Frerker maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a core group of prime contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in enterprise-grade telecom engineering, network hardening, and mission-critical infrastructure deployment. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, technical interoperability, and lifecycle sustainment, often resulting in multi-year, task-order-driven contracts under Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. Her procurement portfolio reflects minimal use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 98.3% of awards issued as unrestricted, indicating a strong emphasis on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is present at a low level (1.7%), it is not a primary driver of acquisition strategy, aligning with the technical complexity and scale of telecom infrastructure needs. Frerker’s focus is exclusively on NAICS 517111 — Wired Telecommunications Carriers — encompassing the procurement of fiber-optic transport, carrier-grade switching, leased line services, and secure backbone connectivity. Her expertise lies in acquiring mission-critical, high-availability telecom services that support DoD’s enterprise network modernization and cyber-resilience objectives, with deep familiarity in telecom engineering standards, network architecture, and secure transport protocols.
